David Attenborough, 98, has given a candid interview to The Independent where he has admitted he's now "approaching the end of his life", so as the legendary presenter slows down and spends more time than ever at his beloved London home, we take a look at his city haven.
In a previous interview with The Telegraph, he called his area of Richmond his "favourite place on earth", and several photos have been released over the years inside his private residence. See the pictures...

David posed for a photo in his living room in 2005. It's decorated with striking lilac carpets and white walls, and furniture includes a set of brown leather sofas, a white bookcase, a dark oak wooden dresser and various vases and ornaments.And, of course, there are wildlife pictures on the wall!

David's traditional hall has a wooden shelving unit with glass shelves where David displays vases and hand-painted plates no doubt collected from his various travels around the world.

As expected, David does his best to attract and look after the local wildlife, including the birds in which he feeds with a silver metallic bird feeder positioned on the tree.
The exterior of the building, meanwhile, is painted a vibrant lilac, with white window frames and a grey tiled roof.
